Friday Night Fights: Starting that E3 hype train

Game with the Dtoid community

Happy Friday Everyone!

Can you believe that we are only a month away from E3? Can you feel the excitement in the air? I know I sure can! While we patiently wait for Sony to announce the time and date for their 2014 E3 press conference, Microsoft, and Nintendo have started the hype train early and have already announced the time and dates of their shows. The buzz for E3 2014 is getting strong and will only grow from here!

My favorite part of E3 time are all of the predictions, people trying to guess who’s gonna “win”, what new games will be show, will Valve ever release Half-Life 3? (no, no they will not).

What say you, faithful Friday Night Fighters, have any predictions you’d like to share? Have any thoughts as to who the big winners will be this year? What games are you most looking forward to?

Let’s get some conversation started in here, I’m dying to know what everyone is thinking and excited for.

Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the games!

New to FNF? Read this! Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It’s a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!

The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members sign up to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up in the community blogs thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, and I recap it all here on the front page to give it a bit more exposure.

To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! If you’d rather host something yourself, sound off in the comments section below!
